[ It's fairly early when Allison poses her question to the network. Not obnoxiously so, just a little earlier than most would expect a teenager to be up of her own accord. She's already been for a run and there's a little evidence to show as much. She's just a little puffed, breathing returning to it's normal rate, and the clothes she's scavenged from the house aren't an ideal fit, but they're still closer to gym gear than the dress she'd arrived in (thanks scientists). Her hair is piled up in a loose bun on the top of her head, cheeks still just a little flushed, and she's only just at the door. She really should go inside and get herself sorted first, but network etiquette 101 is escaping her right now - and besides, the question is important.

There's a friendly smile at least, and for a moment she just eyes the feed a little, unsure of how to start. Finally it comes with a light clear of her throat and a sheepish look at the device on her wrist. ]

So I really hope this thing is working, or I'm going to look like an idiot. [ She laughs, a little awkward, and moves to sit down on the porch. The video jerks in response to the movement, but settles again once she does. ] I just have a quick question, nothing too taxing I promise.

[ She glances away for a second, a little stuck for how to pose the question without sounding like she's up to something, but finally just decides to bite the bullet. Everyone needs to defend themselves, right? That sea monster sure proved that. ]

I'm looking for a bow. Mine got...left behind, I guess, and I'd just- I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had one. If anyone knows where there might be something like that around town or...God, even if you know how to make one, I'd really appreciate the pointers.

[ She pauses again, all awkward awkward Allison, and she's about to add something else.

Unfortunately at that point, the feed cuts out. Or perhaps fortunately, for the people listening. At that rate, they were going to be there all day. ]

[He’s an Alpha. She has to listen. That’s the way it works.]

Oh, I’m Brigid. The library is pretty easy to find. There’s quite a few basic survival books.

[ Brigid you could really use a better alpha, that one kind of fails lately. ]

I'm Allison. [ God she's getting so bad at introductions here. It's easy to forget sometimes - she's used to a close knit enough community and such little branching out taht she never really needed to. ]

I think I might have passed it on my way in, actually. That's..actually really helpful, thank you.

[Brigid needs an Alpha and look, Derek stepped up and didn’t have to. Which is something she appreciates. Don’t insult him in front of her. She’ll defend him. With claws if necessary.]

You’re welcome. I have a couple of books, if you don’t find what you’re looking for. I live out at the lighthouse with a friend, so stop by if you’d like to take a look?

Lighthouse? [ She's seen it a couple of times, even been tempted to poke her head in, but so far has largely managed to avoid it. If she's actually got a reason though, she'll definitely have to take a look. ] That's quite the address to pick. I'll definitely look you up.

I needed to be away from folks for a little while. This was the best solution.

[Brigid smiles, glad to have someone else around.]

It was nice meeting you. And you're welcome to stop by whenever you want.
